The OTT release of L2: Empuraan, a 2025 Malayalam action thriller, on Jio Hotstar starting April 24, 2025, in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, following its theatrical run that began on March 27, 2025, and grossed over ₹262 crore globally. L2: Empuraan, directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and starring Mohanlal, is the sequel to Lucifer, becoming the highest-grossing Malayalam film ever with ₹174 crore in its first four days, despite mixed reviews and a ₹180 crore budget. The film's visual style, shot in anamorphic 2.8:1 format with practical effects for action sequences, was a highlight, though some criticized its background music and story, as noted in IMDb reviews and box office analyses.
